“We have released the list of recovered loot, we know people are asking for the names, but releasing the names may jeopardize ongoing investigations,” Osinbajo said according to a statement released by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Laolu Akande.
Information Minister, Lai Mohammed had earlier said that President Muhammadu Buhari was advised against releasing the looters’ names.
